I'm working on a multilingual help system within a CODESYS visualization project and have run into a limitation with the current text list (.tlx) functionality.
Right now, text list entries only support plain text, which makes it very difficult to format longer help texts in a readable way. For example, Iβd like to:
Use bold headers and larger font sizes for section titles
Display variable names or keywords in italics
Avoid having to split content into dozens of separate entries just to apply different styles
This becomes especially unmanageable when supporting multiple languages β duplicating layout logic across languages is not scalable.
Would it be possible to implement a Markdown text functionality for text list entries ?
For example: #Header ##Sub-header 1.ordered 2.list 3.fun 4.times
Alternatively, is there any existing workaround or planned feature that allows for styled text blocks without fragmenting the content?
Thank you in advance and have a nice day :)
